Use SPF 50+ on beach days; reapply after swimming. Midday UV often reaches very high levels year-round.
Sea & swimming
Watch flag colors on busy beaches; avoid swimming during thunderstorms or when jellyfish warnings are posted.
Getting around
Sudden rain can flood low spots on Beach Road — allow extra time; songthaews and ride apps stay available.
